Now adding Pecl/Zip was a clever idea as it allows an easy way to

Let's just go with Zip/BZip2/GZ (a sane offer of choices) for on
the fly packing and Phar for deployment. And if some people want to
execute phars directly, then why the hell make it hard for them or
even disallow that?
Please, Marcus don't mix your personal feelings and the question we're
discussing here.
PECL/zip has nothing to do with PEAR/phar and it does not matter how
"mainstream" is it.
*Unfortunately* it's already there, so it's too late to discuss whether it was
good or bad decision.
And referring to other extensions ("they did it, why can't I do it") is just
childish.
